LGBTQIA Community

The LGBTQIA Community

What gives people the right to tell other people who they can love? What make your love better than their love? What makes it wrong? The LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexal, transgender, queer/questioning, intersex, asexeal, etc.) have been fighting for rights for a very long time. So many people have been imprisons, beaten,and/or killed for helping with getting LGBTQIA rights. Some not even part of the LGBTQIA community, they just want people to have equal rights.

1. Identity

There is so many different personalities with lgbtqia, so many free spirits, and unique personalities in the lgbtqia community.  People also use pronouns that make us feel more like ourselves (like mine is her, she, and potato). Even so they are their own person. No one is the same. I can’t speak for all of the LGBTQIA community but I can speak for myself. Most of the time I have to fight against the hate of others (including my own family)  and stereotypes that people give me for have short hair.

2. Diversity

Everyone is different,

3. Justice

There's so many people out there who think its wrong that for someone to love the same gender and show it to the world. But what they don't know is how hard other generation had to fight to able to do that. The 1960’s and preceding decades didn’t welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans. For instance, being gay was illegal in New York City, and there was a criminal law that stated people had to wear at least three gender-appropriate articles of clothing or police were allowed to arrest them. This law made it so this communities had to stay hidden in the closet or had to go illegal club run by the mafia, Stonewall Inn, to which then they would blackmail the club’s wealthier customer who wanted to keep their sexuality a secret. The club still would get raid by the FBI but the mafia would just pay people to tell them when there going to raid so they could prevent it to get shut down
